This rig has quite a history of its own. It was manufactured for the sole purpose of starring in the movie "The Fugitive" which was filmed in the Robbinsville, NC area. After the movie was over, and the ambulance had fulfilled its role in the movie, the movie production company was stuck with an ambulance that they didn't really need anymore. They asked around and eventually ended up selling the ambulance to the Stecoah Fire Department just outside Robbinsville, NC. Stecoah ran it as "608" for years. It eventually became the backup ambulance when a newer one was purchased. Recently, Stecoah purchased another newer used ambulance, bumping their current ambulance down to the backup ambulance and leaving this ambulance as an extra. The ambulance was recently donated or sold (not sure which) to Meadow Branch.
